Hey there,

  I joined MM not too long ago and I have a few photos in my portfolio that I'd like opinions on. My goal is to be a portrait photographer, and I'm in the process of attempting to start my business (I think going over Niagra Falls in a barrel and surviving would be easier). I'm also interested in getting in to stock photography and perhaps be published in magazines. So, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I love your use of sepia, and I particularly love the photographs with the doll and the fairy. Beautiful work!

I think your work is wonderful. Interesting subjects and perspectives.  Great use of light.

As far as the business side.  Find your niche and market your ass off.

I wish you lived near me, so you could take pix of me! Amazing!

Pat,

Checked out your portfolio here.  Very nice work!  Good use of light and DOF.   Looks like you have the eye for good portraiture.  Keep at it and best of luck!
